Coleen Rooney breaks silence as Rebekah Vardy loses trial ‘I was right’ | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV
Coleen Rooney has addressed her legal victory over Rebekah Vardy after a judge found that the wife of Jamie Vardy did leak private social media stories of Coleen’s to the press. Addressing the verdict which was handed down remotely earlier today, the wife of Wayne Rooney told how she was “pleased” with the ruling of the defamation trial, which she said proved “she was right”.
Rebekah has lost her High Court level battle she brought against Coleen Rooney over a viral social media post.
Judge Mrs Justice Steyn ruled it was “likely” that Mrs Vardy’s agent at the time, Caroline Watt, “undertook the direct act” of passing the information to The Sun, which led to the infamous social media sting which saw Coleen out Rebekah for leaking false stories about her.
Coleen has now issued a statement following the verdict, insisting the “stressful” case was not one she had “sought” out.
It read: “Naturally, I am pleased that the judge has found in my favour with her judgment today.

“Finally, I would like to thank all of my legal team, my family, friends and everyone who supported me, including the public, through this difficult and stressful time,” the statement ended.
Rebekah Vardy has yet to issue a statement on the ruling.
In 2019, Coleen, who is the wife of former England footballer Wayne Rooney, made claims that stories about her had been leaked from Rebekah’s Instagram account.
Rebekah, who is the wife of footballing pro Jamie Vardy, insisted that such claims were defamatory, taking her to court.
